prevailed m the early part of the sessions of the stock exchanges tl^at the alleged informa tion came from au authoritative j source and that the amount involved would be much more than 1,000,000 but as a result of the investigation of yesterday the rumors were branded as a stock market canard eminating from wall street interests which are | notoriously short of st paul stock the expectation was that the wide publicity given the story vould pound the shares down to a point where great blocks of stock might be picked j up at bargain prices on the other hand it has not been proven that there was not a leakage of 1,000,000 m the building of the pugat sound extension but the loss of 1,000,000 m the building of 2,200 miles of road at a cost of 170,000 000 is taken by the stock exchanges to

printed yesterday that a i relative of one of the st paul ofn j cials had profited largely by con i tracts for equipment placed with a ! supply company of which he was the head the impression prevailed m the early part of the sessions of the stock exchanges tl^at the alleged informa tion came from au authoritative j source and that the amount involved would be much more than 1,000,000 but as a result of the investigation of yesterday the rumors were branded as a stock market canard eminating from wall street interests which are | notoriously short of st paul stock the expectation was that the wide publicity given the story vould pound the shares down to a point where great blocks of stock might be picked j up at bargain prices on the other hand it has not been proven that there was not a leakage of 1,000,000 m the building of the pugat sound extension but the loss of 1,000,000 m the building of 2,200 miles of road at a cost of 170,000 000 is taken by the stock exchanges to
